I was born in 55. When I was about six we had that car! It sat in the yard for a long time after it died! I remember that radio! The whole dash! It was cool! It was our play house!
That movie (Ghost ship) made a refrence about this the one guy said why can't we tow this ship the way it is? The other guy said"it will be like towing a 56 Cadillac with 4 flat tires"

To Mad Max Do you know the 1950's model TATRA from Czechoslovakia? American styled like this. FANTASTIC. But the government of the time didn't export cars, when it could have sold SO MANY of those fine cars to America, where I am sure they would have become SO famous!
Oh no, what a beauty survivor. Even headliner is intact - needs to be cleaned and polished and it will be enough. Restoration will destroy originality. Did you hear sound, when doors are closing? INCREDIBEL!!
Remem the fuel cap is under the left tail light, just push the quarter size reflector, the light flips up. 4dr Hard top, was a smoking hot looking auto during the fast moving car designs from '55 thru '62.
My father bought us a 1956 Series 62 in 1965 for $195 US. I drove it for years then passed it on to my sibling who drove it and later traded it for a 1963 Corvair Monza which I later ended up with. I never forgave him. The vent windows were crank others power. I remember you had to step on the brake and pull this gear shift toward you to take it out of park. I also remember it weighed 5280 Lbs until my brother removed the wheel covers, fender skirts and mufflers. It had spring mounted front & rear bumpers and when I was rear ended by a '63 Tbird it had to be towed while the only damage to the Caddy was a straight line across the rear end behind the bumper. The Caddy had an enormous 4 bbl carb mounted on a 472 ci power plant. Not so great in fast turns because of its weight but eventually it would catch its rival and leave them in the dust. VERY impressive for its day! So were the tickets I collected. I took my drivers license test in that beast and passed. My only disappointment was the vaccuum windshield wipers that would stop moving when you stepped on the gas. In my opinion th 56 & 73s were the ultimate in design and I had the privilege of owning both.
The 472 engine had not come out yet, if it did have a 472, someone did an engine swap. My 58 cadillac has its original 365 , and thats what the 56 cadillac had also. Yes , you need to pull the transmission lever towards you, then move the lever, probably why this one wasn't moving. My 58 cadillac was bought in 1960, by my parents. I was just 1 year old. Mom gave it to me in 1982. Lifelong Southern California car, its never been abused, molested, or modified in any way. Series 62 sedan, has factory AC, power windows, wonderbar radio, power antenna. Still on the road! 😊
I hope we get to see it back on the rode. I have a 61 that I've waited a whole year just trying to get the ppl arts to redo the motor. I love the old Caddys
it's not moving, of course not, 4500 pounds on flat tires. Bring air compressor to see if tires will air up, and I always bring a come along to winch my "next project" out of it's place of slumber...but mine much lighter. It took 3 of us to push my 56 CDV into the garage, I suspect the jetaway transmission had something to do wtih that (engine was out).....curious to see what happens next !!
I would bet that thing weighs closer to 5000 pounds. I remember riding in one of those around 1972. A smooth powerful ride. 4 speed automatic transmission, and a 365 cubic inch with a 4 bbl. Dual exhaust. All factory. 😊
That is the exact model and color my dad had. A beautiful car to ride and drive, but lots of problems. Jetaway transmission was no good, went through 4 of them. Power steering unit went through fluid badly, when we got to our local gas station they wheeled out the trans-steering fluid caddy before we even stopped at the pump. Changed about 3 steering pumps. Cylinder heads cracked between the valves, so used coolant as well. Just a beautiful, undependable car.
@@scottysgarage4393 Yes! MG gramps had a 53! A massive tank. And never any major replacements were needed. He sold it on a great offer! It had 455.000! Miles all original! Me gramps have it the best oil! Filter! Gas ! Parts.
How old was the car when he acquired it? My 58 cadillac that my parents bought in 1960 was very reliable till about 80.000 miles, no engine issues, but needed a new generator, and power steering pump, this was around 1967, just had the pump rebuilt again in 2009. Transmission had 1st rebuild in 2011, leaking fluid badly. Had the engine rebuilt in 2012, blowby just to excessive to put it off anymore. That was at 147.000 miles. Parts kept, block and heads, rocker assemblys, crank. Lifelong Southern California car, that may play a part in overall reliability.
Listen to how solidly the hood and doors still close. That's a very good, solid, original car, and very worth restoring. Sadly, I suspect that it will soon become a low rider or a rat rod.
@@robertjw99I'm honest here. Don't exactly like the looks of the car, or any of the GM cars of that year, however,THANK YOU for keeping it the way it is intended to look like with no silly wagon wheels or thin tires on it and certainly not lowering it to the ground like that either. Just keeping it the way it is intended to look like is all ya need to do.
Even for a car of their vintage, there's a lot going on on those old Caddies and they're a lot of work to restore. But even done enough to make them drivers, they're pretty special once you get a chance to drive one a bit. They were the best back then, and even now that shows in how they drive even today. I hope this one found it's way to someone who wants to bring it back to it's former glory, and really enjoy it as it was made to be.
Great car for a restomod project. original body and interior with a new LS engine and 6L90 Transmission. I have been looking for a car like this to do exactly that. I am getting ready to retire and plan to sell my CTS-V and get something like this.
Man, there are so many things wrong when they used the tow strap. I was waiting for it to snap and take out the pick up truck or worse, a person. 1. The guy standing next to the front o the truck... you want to stand clear and to the side, or even better next the the vehicle doing the towing. 2. Not having a heavy rug or a coat draped over the strap mid-point so if it does let loose, it will not fly as far back.
my 57 i had a 365 56 engine block i rebuilt with 58 heads 30 over pistons 2 4 barrel rochester carbs. the intake came of a corvette wich was same engine as caddy back then. it put out 325 horsepower
i had a 57 . 365 cubic inch motor they came with about 300 hp. the problem they had was the front lower a frame or control arm some may call it ,the bolts that held them on would pull through the cross member. I had barrie metal and machine make me a bottom plate out a half inch metal and i bolted that on after hours of grinding and drilling the old rivets out. i traded that car for a harley. i wish i kept it
Why did they not wait until spring or summer to decide to remove the caddilac I mean if it sat all these years what is a couple of more months? I know it not as dramatic video but sure would have made sense poor old girl pulling her out in all that snow.
Rebuld this car originals today seling real 50.000 $us (vs history model category ) later time moneyIndualie model coupes are more valuable than sedans and station wagons. coupés were already close to sports classic cars. More extras in the cabin. than standard models.

Anybody know the price??

Merci pour elle

If you say so. It was afterall 9 years old when we got it
Beautiful model Cadilac coupe. 😎👍 next rebuild and again miljon miles state ride 😎👍
You have to pull the stick towards you to get it out of Park.
Surprised its a four door hardtop as most men wanted them instead... all said and done, quite a survivor and well worth investing in it.
I hope we get to see it back on the rode. I have a 61 that I've waited a whole year just trying to get the ppl arts to redo the motor. I love the old Caddys

Nope, it's staying all original except for the engine. Not even planning on restoring it, just keeping it as a survivor.

Keep us updated please. Me Gramps had a 53!! A tank. Almost 3 tons
Magnífico 🇧🇷😎
Not the best day or time of year to try and move a mountain. Still, a car well worth preserving.
Might be. The grounds hard, and no crops in the road

Don't worry about it, snowflake.
The worst thing wrong was the strap/chain distance was to far away. Lost leverage ' making it harder to pull.
Grandpa Caddy didn't wanna go out that day
Muito lindo amo esse clássico ❤❤❤❤
Машина несомненно классная👌👌👌👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝💘💘💘🔥🔥🔥
I read Tom Macahill road test in Mechanic Illustrated back then, he liked the cold AC hitting him right in the chest.

so you create a video of trying to get it out but the crucial first move moments are not on video. that was very disappointing. thumbs down
Yeah, sorry about that. We had a technical failure and didn't get that footage. I was disappointed too.
